FT: Warriors 3-25 Saracens

Full-time: What started out as a valiant Warriors performance was soon deflated in the second half. If Gold’s men had taken the chances on offer in the first 40, it could have been a very different outcome. But reality is it’s a fifth defeat for Warriors with Bath to come and then the European break. Time to panic? Thanks for following.

69 mins: We’re approaching the ten-minute mark and Saracens are looking after the ball. They will look to see the game out now. Warriors need to score quick.

58 mins: The momentum has shifted here with Saracens enjoying a lot more possession. At 15 points down, it will be a big task to fightback, but Worcester did it last Friday against Gloucester..

52 mins: CONVERSION MISSED Saracens – Lozowski misses his first of the evening.

51 mins: TRY Saracens – You would have put your money on Warriors to score the next try with the way they’ve played, but it’s Sarries who score after Alex Goode breaks a Chris Pennell tackle out wide and breezes across the line.

45 mins: Both sides grappling for possession as Warriors boot the ball into Saracens territory. This half could be another closely-fought battle.

Half-time: Wow. What a game of rugby. Gold will be immensely pleased with his side’s performance in this first half – easily their best performance of the campaign.

It’s such a shame that all they’ve got to show for it is a Shillcock penalty. They have had so many chances and Saracens have struggled to get the ball out of their 22, something you don’t see often.

Will the hosts pick up where they left off in the second half or will they be ruing those missed chances? Don’t go anywhere.

37 mins: Warriors going close again and the fans here thought they had gone over. They’ve camped on Saracens’ tryline a couple of times but the visitors’ defence is a wall tonight!
